Chapter 188: Rumors Abound

July 15th.

One and a half months after the torrential rain.

It has been a month and a half without rain.

Bare trees, fallen leaves, and the dry rot of decay. Ruin was everywhere.

The flow of people moving from north to south was increasing. At night, among these streams of refugees, occasional cries of agony, piercing wails, could be heard.

But no one cared, not even paid any attention to it all.

The fact that they gathered together was for greater safety. Although competition for food was fiercer, dealing with zombies was easier at night.

And staying put simply spelled starvation.

By following the larger group, there might still be food to be found, and at least the possibility to keep living.

They continued southward, drawing ever closer to Xin City.

Along the national highway, they scoured the houses on either side, seeking food like a swarm of locusts, sharing whatever scarce provisions they found.
